SUMMARY OF WORK

PART 1 GENERAL

1.1 Description

This design-build project involves the design and construction of two pre-engineered metal building systems consisting of a large open area for warehouse/storage operations and multiple separated smaller administrative office locations inside the building. The large warehouse building is approximately 156 x 61 meters and the transfer warehouse is 100 x 30 meters.

Both facilities areas require HVAC, power, fire protection and life safety provisions, communication (data & telephone), and utilities. The base bid includes each facility to be entirely independent of the public grid, to include primary utilities and distribution between both warehouses in the form a septic holding tank, domestic water tank storage, fire water storage tank including fire water booster pumps, as well as a generator with fuel tank. Both warehouses require conduit and cable trays installed as part of this project for a future digital tracking system. The Base Bid items are to include the following:

1) Mobilization and Demobilization

2) Design and Surveys

3) Construct Large Logistics Warehouse

4) Large Logistics Warehouse Domestic Water Storage Tank(s), Pump House(s) and any connections to the Facility

5) Large Logistics Warehouse Prime Power Generator System and connections to the Facility

6) Construct Transfer Warehouse

7) Transfer Warehouse Domestic Water Storage Tank(s), Pump House(s) and any connections to the Facility

8) Transfer Warehouse Prime Power Generator System and connections to the Facility

9) Construct Support Facilities

The Options are as follows:

1) Operations and Maintenance (O&M) for First Year

2) Operations and Maintenance (O&M) for Second Year

3) Operations and Maintenance (O&M) for Third Year

The Government may require the delivery of the numbered line item, identified in the Schedule as an option item, in the quantity and at the price stated in the Schedule. The Contracting Officer may exercise the option by written notice to the Contractor as identified in FAR 52.217-7 Option for Increased Quantity--Separately priced Line Item (MAR 1989). The Period of Performance will begin upon the issuance of the modification to exercise the option(s).

At the beneficial occupancy date (BOD), if the these facilities will not be connected to commercial electricity, sewer and water, and communications provisions in the contract Base Bid and Options section allow for a complete and usable facility upon completion by the contractor. Facilities future utility services should plan to the 1.5 meter line of the facility for utility tie-ins.

COST-LOADED NETWORK ANALYSIS SCHEDULES (NAS) FOR DESIGN-BUILD

PART 1 GENERAL

1.1 DESCRIPTION

The Contractor is responsible for scheduling all design, procurement, Contractor quality control and construction, acceptance testing and training. A single schedule shall logically incorporate all design and construction for the entire project. Unless otherwise indicated, the contractor may begin construction when design is signed, stamped and submitted to the Government via the Contractor's quality control organization. If Government approval is required for any portion of a final signed and sealed design package prior to construction, that review time shall be included in the schedule. The schedule shall also include times for procurement, Contractor quality control and construction, acceptance testing and training. Refer to Specification Section 01 33 00.12 10 SUBMITTAL PROCEDURES FOR DESIGN-BUILD to determine if any items require Government approval prior to construction. If any are required, include that submittal review time in the schedule.

The schedule is a tool to manage the project, both for Contractor and Government activities. It will also be used to report progress and evaluate time extensions. The Project NAS must be cost-loaded and will provide the basis for progress payments.
